#and seriously it’s only episode 3??

[soukana]

So the thing about this sequence for me is that it’s the first time Tinn’s fantasy has been a) not subverted by something and b) mirrored by their actions in real life. We’re explicitly told that the dance was just as beautiful and perfect in the gym as it was in the ballroom. This is so different from the other fantasy sequences we’ve seen and it only works if they are both in it together. To me this is the show telling us that Gun was equally in this moment and it’s no longer just a one-sided dream.

And then at the climax of the scene we get a series of quick cuts between them dancing in the fantasy, their memories and their current reality. It’s gorgeous and perfect because Tinn needs to get out of his head and this is when it finally starts to happen; the walls are breaking down and he’s figuring out that what’s happening in front of him is just as romantic and lovely as anything he might have cooked up in his dreams. And it’s so well suited to a high school BL because this is what high school love is about… navigating the convergence of your hopes and romantic ideals with the real life experience of becoming close to another person for the first time.

And all of that story is told through BALLROOM DANCE. This show, y’all.

Did you read the Adjudicator's backstory that the Director/people from the show talked about? And that apparently they decided not to have anyone mention it on the show because it would make the audience sympathise too much with her? It makes zero sense at all. Rats ate her mouth when she was a baby because of her mother's neglect? This probably around the 1930s and she survived? And learned to talk and everything like nothing happened? Those scars don't even look like rat bites to begging with

I haven't, but I mean. That's all well and good, but it's literally extracanonical and therefore doesn't count? And to further disparage the creators-- if they were worried about making her too sympathetic, they a) did a huge disservice to Katie McGrath's ability to act absolutely reprehensible, and b) did us meme-knowers a huge injustice by assuming we wouldn't gleefully ascribe to the "cool backstory, still murder" gif.

And also, why does she need to be non-sympathetic? She wasn't our villain. Or any villain, really. She didn't actually do anything except get under Mel Gibson's skin, so obviously we were going to eat her up anyway.

I also want to point out that if the creators had this backstory, and it's cool-slash-important enough for the creators to talk about it with fans-- they should have put it in the FUCKING show. Releasing it as twitter bonus content is a real dick move.

Sounds like a whole steaming pile of male-creator bullshit if you ask me.

—on the topic of psychotic Summers brothers, I only just caught up with six months of X-Men after stopping for six months the topic of Gabriel referring to the tags of my last X-Men post a month ago — but I was happy to see Scott's torture-induced psychosis didn't (definitively) turn out just to be that he'd calculated what others hadn't. Yes, the woman he'd accurately calculated would save him was Dr. Gregor, not Jean, but that doesn't change that he remained unsure if Jean was real (and thought she was alive) while the all-seeing Enigma knew on the contrary that Scott was delusional because Phoenix thus equally (an equivocation which casts further doubt of Scott's fiery visions ever being genuine, as Jean's dying mind had departed Scott well before Mother Righteous sacrificed Jean's dead fragmented self for Dominion, before Scott was tortured) Jean — were so utterly dead that Rachel and Hope had to cancel out death to reverse it. Yet Scott, hyper-vigilant traumatized autistic brain-damaged neurodivergent soldier that he is, seemingly accomplished all these strategic calculations while having a psychotic “break,” which is extremely in character for him—

Update regarding last night's post: My brother (age 13, definitely has heard worse when he went to public school) has now been banned from watching Spy X Family because of the "language".

If you want evidence that my mom is an absolute whackjob, she willingly let him watch Deadpool and Venom when he was in elementary school.

how to go from a one-shot/conversation spawned from thinking too much about an unseen father to more than a dozen fic ideas and an overarching narrative about family heritage (and the generational trauma that comes with it), the importance of communication, and how all lives touch other lives to create something anew and alive in one easy step
